“ A simple concrete goal does wonders for motivation ”

Please look at campaign finance vouchers (democracy dollars). As described in my essays, especially the latest one, it can be the motivator we need.

But it needs boosters to persuade the democrats to look up and consider the alternatives.

A story: my coworker was a dive bomber trainer. He tells of having to knock the controls away from trainees who were so focused on hitting the target that they were ignoring the need to pull out of the dive before crashing.

Our current democrat crew have lived in the fund raising focus so long (with disastrous results for 80% of the population, including the 2008 crisis) that the cannot look around and “pull out of their dive.”

We are in extreme danger of another 2008 banking collapse over commercial real estate. Warning signs everywhere. Not a peep out of Biden. Another one will kill us.

The answers to those two Gallup Poll questions in 1939 aren't actually contradictory and so don't require the bias explanation you provide here. In addition, the response that they wouldn't want to live in the horse-and-buggy-days seems inconsistent with the main tenets of your (interesting) piece.
